Happy U.S. Memorial Day!

What is Blind Kiyomi?

It's the question everyone always asks- where did the name of this website come from? As we re-introduce the site, it is only right to revisit the question.

There once was a movie called Curse of the Screaming Skull or maybe Curse of the Cannibal Confederates depending on where you've seen it. It's a true independent film; the director seemingly took his friends and a small budget out on a camping trip, made his film, then released it to the world. Long before independent films became pretentious, this is how they were made, for better or worse. (In this case mostly worse.)

This website's title comes from the title sequence of the film where we see this little gem:

Why does this character get a descriptor? Nobody calls her Blind Kiyomi in the film. Amazingly she gets this name because the actress playing her isn't good at portraying a blind person and the director needed a way to point out to the audience that she is supposed to be blind. That's not even the worst thing about the film. It's a total mess; a fun mess, however.

Since nobody had registered the domain name, it seemed like a good idea to use it for a website about all types of movies, good and bad. And that's what the relaunched BlindKiyomi.com is all about. Enjoy us, won't you?

Happy U.S. Independence Day!

Happy Memorial Day

According to the conclusion of I Accuse My Parents, it was shown to American troops for free. Just another sacrifice made by our troops!

Welcome to BlindKiyomi!

Welcome to Blind Kiyomi!

On this site we'll be talking about movies (good and bad) and how much we love them! Our name is inspired by the classic film The Curse of the Screaming Dead in which one character is officially named "Blind Kiyomi", apparently because the filmmaker didn't think we could tell she was supposed to be blind based on her performance alone.
